You all played a part in making my
first ever Etsy sale a wonderful success. All four pieces found a home
in record time...I even had my first international sale as the
Bittersweet Bunny and Needle-Book are going to Australia.

I was a Nervous Nelly all day fretting about how this sale would turn out. I must have went in and tweaked my listings a dozen times. Also on my mind was how to price everything as I know how long it took to create them...especially the ones with the all the cross stitched details.

I truly believe that if I don't value my own work...then others won't value it either. So I priced my pieces accordingly and again my worries were unfounded, and the sale ended successfully.

I feel blessed in so many ways!

As a side note I will be working on a new group that will be all about Winter and Christmas...let the cold winds blow!

I woke up early this morning...started a fire in the wood stove and read "Etsy for Dummies"(((because I'm kind of an Etsy dummy and need to educate myself)))...where was I...oh yea...I woke up early and after some light reading went up to my studio and put the finishing touches on Little Boo...he's a happy camper now that he got he's own pumpkin.

Little Boo will be joining the other Characters that will be available for adoption October 19th in my Etsy Store.

This will be my fist Etsy sale...I have purchased from there but have never listed anything in my store. I made the decision to do this to save me time and work. Now you won't have to wait for my reply email telling you whether or not you succeeded in acquiring a piece...and I won't have to spend so much time writing these replies and listings. Now you can just go to my store at the appointed time and simply pick the one you like and make a purchase...beautiful in it's simplicity. One last note...I will only be accepting payments by PayPal in my Etsy store.
